DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

I have a son that left 4/11 for Grt Lks boot camp.  I would like to connect with other Navy moms in this division.  Looks like 6/15 is the grad. date.

We are Ship 11 Division 177; PIR 6-15.  Am I in the right place? :-)

yes indeed,  we have a PIR of  6/15.  I just received the letter stating all the details for his Div. 177.  I  was just guessing it was 6/8. 

His PIR date is 6/15,  so I joined the 6/15 group.  now the planning.  he is most likely going to be going to A school out to CT, so I don't know if he will get the weekend free or at least liberty on Sat.  What's the chance they will get liberty for Sat and Sun and ship out Monday.  Probably slim, right? 

My son is in Div 177, ship 11.  His graduation date is 6-15.  Is there a place that we can follow our kids by division?

seesmom....here is the link to your PIR group...usually there are discussions there in the discussion forum for each division

JessicaB...thanks so much for the link.

what is your son's job going to be?  mine is going for computer navigation (among other things) on subs.  prob. going to CT for A school. 

Hi. My son is in ship-11 div-177. Is yours in that one too?
I would like to connect with others in the same div.
Thanks :)

yes,  my son is assigned to that ship/div also.  great, let's connect

Hi... My son also is most likely going to CT for A school.
Looks like we have a lot in common, TechiTunes
I see Seesmom has someone in that div also. Nice to see you both on here.

I wonder if they have gotten to know each other yet?  sub school,  computer navigation among other things is what he is looking forward to in A school.  so, ya,  we'll keep in touch and see where they go.

Wow, they have a lot in common. Mine is also going for submarine. He wants something in computer electronics. Sonar maybe too. I hope they get to know each other.
